  • Almost Halfway and the Chicago Cubs Keep Leading

    Almost Halfway and the Chicago Cubs Keep Leading
    Jun 10 2025
    It's early June and the Chicago Cubs sit atop the NL Central. Cubs are currently grinding through a tough road trip and are holding their own. Struggled to get much happening against top pitchers Mackenzie Gore, Tarik Skubal and Zack Wheeler. All the talk of the Cubs offense is well-deserved, but the defense has been impressive, too. Lineup suggestions for Craig Counsell (the Spring of Carson Kelly is over). A preview of the rest of the Phillies series, plus news and notes from around Major League Baseball.

  • Here Comes A Big Call-Up For The Chicago Cubs!

    Here Comes A Big Call-Up For The Chicago Cubs!
    May 13 2025
    Coming into this season, I was most excited to see 2 Cubs prospects. Looks like they both get the call within a matter of days of each other. Cade Horton debuted over the weekend, Moises Ballesteros to be called up today. But, what's the corresponding roster move? No team needs 3 catchers, but the Cubs catching corps this year is unmatched. 3 things to watch: Ballesteros call-up, what's happening at third base and who exactly is Ryan Pressly? Plus, news and notes from around Major League Baseball.

  • Spring Training Time for the Chicago Cubs

    Spring Training Time for the Chicago Cubs
    Feb 9 2025
    After a long wait, it's time for the 2025 Chicago Cubs to hit the field! Pitcher and catchers are reporting today to the Cubs complex in Arizona. It's been a busy offseason for the Cubs front office. Cubs enter camp with way more bullpen arms than can be kept on the roster. Will talk about that and the starting rotation. Will the Cubs add anyone still (Bregman and Cease come to mind)? Only one is probably remotely close to happening. Pecota projections are already pretty favorable for the Cubs.

  • Kyle Tucker to the Chicago Cubs!

    Kyle Tucker to the Chicago Cubs!
    Dec 14 2024
    The Chicago Cubs pull off a big trade with the Astros. Kyle Tucker is now a Chicago Cub. Even though he has yet to play for the Cubs, I'm saying he's the best player on a Cubs roster in many years. A really solid all-around player. Under contract for just one year. Team's willingness to re-sign him will shape the club's future for several years. Also, other Cubs roster moves you may or may not have seen this offseason. A few moves worth mentioning from elsewhere in MLB. Plus, what's ahead for the Cubs. Is Bellinger here in 2025? Either way, what needs remain for this team to be competitive in 2025.
